Tension in Frostpunk 2 measures the city's conflict and unrest, showing agitation and anxiety in the City's population to the player.

The Tension display is located at the middle of the very bottom of the screen, portrayed by an orb that starts empty and can fill with black or red liquid as Tension rises. The roads of the city also reflect the level of tension in their colour.

Tension can reflect current events and the Steward's decisions, but day-to-day it is the result of other Problems, rising if other problems like Cold, Hunger, Disease, Squalor, or Crime are high. Factions, which might engage in various disruptions, such as Protests, will also increase Tension rapidly.

Progression

Catastrophic Tension UI

As the Tension increases the UI will get darker with additional black elements. At the Catastrophic Tension level all the pathways will turn red, UI will be covered in black liquid.

If high tension will not be reduced final Events will take place giving the Steward a last chance to take Problems under control before being exiled. Be careful, if your Tension reaches the maximum limit, the City will fall into uncontrollable chaos.
